Drug trafficker uses 71 year-old mother as mule
Güncelleme Tarihi:
Malatya's drug trafficking and organised crime unit was informed that a certain Nurettin G. was preparing to move drugs from Van to Istanbul.
Police discovered that Nurettin G's 71 year-old mother Hanova G. and relative Seda D. were travelling on a bus from Van to Istanbul. After stopping a bus near Malatya at 12:45am, police asked three people to get off the bus and searched their belongings.
Unable to find anything in their suitcases, officers searched the suspects' persons, eventually finding 4.276 kilograms of heroin worth $500,000 strapped to 71 year-old Hanova G's body under layers of clothing. Taken into detention, the woman said she was not aware of what she was carrying, and had wanted to help her son, who told her he was going to make a lot of money with her help.
Her son Nurettin G. said, "I thought they wouldn't search my mother as she's so old. I'm very sorry."
